That's all I can ask for. Hopefully I'll be back out there soon."He also addressed the balance between pain and caution."Once I get back on the court, it is a little bit of a pain-tolerance thing. But it's something that you don't want to have lingering because it can get worse."Curry has not resumed full-on-court work. Multiple MRIs revealed that he has not sustained any structural damage. However, as the soreness persists, head coach Steve Kerr has emphasized patience as the team manages the recovery.
